Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Halloween is coming. You don’t have to go to a “trunk-or-treat” event in Seattle! You can close your neighborhood street to through-traffic – for free! Trick-or-Streets permits are free and easy to get. Join here: seattle.gov/transportation/trick-or-streets

If only Dems can get the noisy online “influencers” and pundits seeking clicks and controversy to unite around Dem nominees the way the losing primary candidates have. It seems to me that defeating Trump regime enablers and sycophants should be the priority right now.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

A lot of people often like to shit on Seattle's planning/process (me, I'm people), but we've also gotta remember that we're absolutely destroying most other American cities today. We deserve to pat ourselves on the back once in a while.
@chnalvr • 12h ago
The Los Angeles fan is right. Seattle has the perfect downtown streets and outdoor venues and the waterfront for tens of thousands of people to celebrate before and after the game.
We have had a blast in Seattle today.
Well done, Seattle planners!

Black text on white background 
“Happy Easter, New York! 

Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. 
As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth.
Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. 

Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”
